Chocolate Chip Cookies (3)

Ingredients

3/4 c Granulated sugar
1 c Brown sugar
1 c Butter
1 tb Vanilla
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
3 c Flour
3/4 ts Baking soda
3/4 ts Salt
3 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  In a large bowl, combine sugars; add in butter and cream together with the sugar. Add vanilla and eggs; mix together. In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the creamed mixture. Mix well; the dough will be stiff. Add the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).  Line the cookie sheets with baking parchment or wax paper. Drop dough with a small ice cream scoop onto the sheets.  Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
